I Need an "Easy Button" Too

Okay. It took a few months. But Staples finally had me laughing out loud at their latest "Easy Button" spot. Is it because I've worked with all of these characters before? I'll admit, that plays a part in why the humor works. It has that "Office" feel it, and you expect Steve Carrell to pop out at any moment. My personal favorite is "hair gel guy".

Still not motivated to head to Staples? Maybe if you had a few more CD spindles (and hungry developers) on hand it would drive innovation at your office. What inventions do you have lurking in the office supply closet?
